dEAR sRI ta varadhan swAmi, 

Yes, the avathArigai is the gem on our asset base. The greatness of our 
vyAkyAnAs lie in the avathArikai-s. It brings sharply the meanings of the 
'thriu-voi-mozhi' in a nutshell, highlights the subject matter, creates 
coherence-bridges between the earlier thiru-voi-mozhi and the present one, 
brings forth into our vision AzhwAr's feelings.

The avathArikai also in some places presents different interpretations.

But what about sriyappadhippadi?
regards
vanamamalai padmanabhan

  Subject: [ramanuja] thiruvaymozhi - a small project


  srImathE saTakOpAya namah
  srImathE rAmAnujAya namah

  srImathE vara vara munayE namah

  dear bhagavathas,

  Today being the day in which vEda adhyayanam is normally started for 
  the year, adiyEn is embarking an a small project. For us, the tamizh 
  vEdam is in many ways more dear than the samskrit vEdam. In the 
  tamizh vEdam, thiruvAymozhi occupies a dear portion. There have been 
  several commentaries on thiruvAymozhi, and several anubhavams by our 
  AchAryAs on this divine work. Words cannot begin to describe the 
  greatness, beauty, sweetness and utility of thiruvaaymozhi to us.

  For people like me, the meanings of thiruvAymozhi are very hard to 
  understand and requires me to listen the upanyAsam from an AchArya 
  multiple times. The vyAkhyAnams are hard to read, and are open to 
  misinterpretation without the help of an AchArya. However, one great 
  AchArya - perhaps the greatest SriVaishNava AchArya of the 20th 
  century - srI prativAdi bayankaram aNNangarAchariAr svAmi has done 
  all of us a great upakAram by writing and publishing a set of 
  commentaries known as "divyArtha deepikai" on all the naalaayira 
  divya prabhandham paasurams. This divyaartha deepikai is so sweet & 
  simple to understand that it brings tears to ones eyes. It is the 
  most perfect condensation of what all of our AchAryAs have taught 
  us, and is presented in a simple, easy to understand manner in 
  simple tamizh.

  Each paasuram in the naalaayira divya prabhandham is linked to the 
  previous and next paasurams. So is each set of 10/11 pasurams 
  (decades). In thiruvaaymozhi, every commentary has what is usually 
  termed as "pravESa" (introdutory material/preface/entering material) 
  to each decade. This is a very beautiful section where the 
  connection between the previous and the current decade is given, and 
  in most cases a small summary of what is said in the current decade 
  is provided. By understanding the pravESas to all the decades, one 
  can get a good idea of what thiruvAymozhi says, and is something 
  that is enjoyable to do.

  adiyEn's small project is to translate the simple versions of the 
  pravESas of all the 100 decads in thriuvAymozhi from the divyaartha 
  deepikai. adiyEn will attempt to do the translation only for the 
  very simple version of the divyArtha deepikai. This version is found 
  in a book titled "aNNa svaamiyin amudha mozhi aayiram", and is the 
  501st to the 600th amudha mozhi in the book.

  I request all bhaagavathaas to bear with, point out and correct any 
  errors, and forgive me for the errors that will come in the 
  translation. All errors are mine and mine only, and if there is any 
  good in these postings, all the credit goes to adiyEn's AchArya - 
  srI thirumalai anandAnpiLLai krishNamAchAriAr svAmi, and other 
  AchAryAs that adiyEn has had a bhAgyam to learn from/listen to 
  upanyAsams from in some form or the other, some of whom are - 
  current day srI rAmAnuja, srI srI srI tridaNdi srIman nArAyaNa 
  chinna jeeyar svAmi; srI prativaadi bhayankaram aNNangarAchAriAr 
  svAmi, srI embAr rangAchari svAmi, srI E.S.Bhoovarahaachariaar svAmi 
  and srI vELukkudi krishNan svAmi.

  AzhvAr emperumAnAr jeeyar thiruvadigaLE saraNam,
  adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan,
  thirumalai anandAnpiLLai srinivasa varadhan
